I want to use a certain font on my website for a change. I used rix to test it out but for some reason i can't get it to work though. this is a temporary placefor it:

http://members1.chello.nl/~m.driessen4/temp/

the css i use in the stylesheet:

@font-face
{
font-family: Rix;
src: url('RIX0.eot');
}

the file is into the same folder yes. I have uninstalled Rix from my computer to see if it really works. On my test site it doesn't, but on this site it does:

http://bluestarz.sephii.net

i can see the font fine on that site, while i haven't got it on my pc though. Does anybody know where i went wrong? i know the page looks messed up. I haven't uploaded all the stuff just the nessecary ones to see the result.

Thanks!

love,
Mirna

glad you like my font... lol! you have to create the file rix.eot. however, since i have already done that, you can just type in http://bluestarz.sephii.net/RIX.eot and it should automatically download it for you and you just upload that to your site...

i have created the .eot file with a program called WEFT. I have uploaded it to my place and all... but for some strange reason it doesn't work :S

did you change your CSS to say Rix instead of whatever other font you were using? like in your body and links and all that?

okay, only thing i can suggest is to put it in each section of your CSS, i looked at your CSS, and you don't have it all of the sections... like the different classes and stuff... i put it in EVERY section on my CSS and it works soo.... i dunno

thanks for your help :)
i can't get it to work... i have added the font-family: Rix; part to most things that include text in it on the webpage itself. I dunno what's wrong either, so unless someone knows the answer i'm going for another type of font ;)

Thanks again !
